 What is the Dorset property scene like?

Dorset has continued to see rising house prices in recent years, showing there’s a strong property market across the county. There are certainly some homes available in sought-after spots, including high-spec 2 bed new build house in the Poole suburb of Hamworthy, which are close to Cobb’s Quay Marina and surrounded by Upton Lake, Rock Lea River and Poole Harbour.
